Two dozen American Marine employees out of work

As many as 24 employees of the failed American Marine Bank have lost their jobs or resigned since late January, when Columbia State Bank took over the Bainbridge Island-based institution.

Rachel Pritchett reports in today’s Sun that the departures represent about 20 percent of American Marine’s work force. Most of those who left were administrators or managers at the bank’s Winslow Way headquarters.

Most of the American Marine’s tellers and rank-and-file staffers at the bank’s other 11 branches were offered jobs with Columbia State last month.
